“Elexis, your birthday is in February, there is no way we can have your party at the zoo.” This line would be repeated throughout my household from the beginning of January until February 20th, ten days after my birthday had already passed. The zoo is a thrilling place for a kid; fantastic animals all around them running and playing, lions roaring and polar bears swimming in the little pools in their enclosures. These are common memories children have when looking back on their trips to the zoo,…

Callaway wasn't the first to pursue the lost garden. Columbus went inspecting for it in Venezuela. Dr. Livingstone presumed it was in Zambia. John Calvin preached that it lay hidden in Iraq. William Warren, the president of Boston University, took a sabbatical Arctic cruise to confirm its location at the pole. The Garden has been the illusory dream of scientists, kings, writers, and at least one contrarian Southern lawyer. It is a story so compelling they’ve sometimes abandoned gold, tenure,…

In order to better understand a country, its people, and its issues, one must understand key information to provide context.

Some of the examples of this revitalization include: the 1996 relocation of General Motors corporate headquarters into The Renaissance Center, the building of Comerica Park in 2000 as a new home for the Detroit Tigers, and also the building of the adjacent Ford Field in 2002 for the Detroit Lions . Furthermore, Joe Louis Arena went under some major redevelopment for the Detroit Red Wings to play hockey in and attract the locals and tourist to get them to travel…

My chosen topic is history through sports. I chose this because I thought it would be an interesting topic to find out new things about. I also really enjoy watching sports, so this is a great topic for me because I will remain interested throughout the whole research process. I decided to format my paper in the order I researched it. This way it would be much simpler. It also makes sense to me to put my research on order from decade to decade. I will start by writing about my research on the…

What is global warning? Our world faces an everlasting dangerous threat…… global warming. This is caused by the increase of the earth’s atmosphere temperature and by the moving levels of carbon dioxide. We know this because in the last 650,000 years the polar ice caps have gradually been reduced to water. The Polar ice caps melting. Other things have also been caused by this problem such as the ocean rising, heat rising, droughts, floods, storms and many more that will occur in the following…

Pangea book one: Covenant I Merrick Part 1: The beginning I have never been the best student in class. I’ve never turned in a homework nor my attendance was perfect, but why anything weird or extremely strange does needs to happen to me. Oh sorry, my name is Merrick I'm from the air civilization.

Hindi, with the largest number of speakers, is the official language of the government. English is used extensively in business and administration and has the status of a "subsidiary official language"; it is important in education, especially as a medium of higher education. Each state and union territory has one or more official languages, and the constitution…

He turned a little sideways in his chair to drink his mug of coffee. At the table on his left the man with the strident voice was still talking remorselessly away. A young woman who was perhaps his secretary, and who was sitting with her back to Winston, was listening to him and seemed to be eagerly agreeing with everything that he said. From time to time Winston caught some such remark as 'I think you're so right, I do so agree with you', uttered in a youthful and rather silly feminine voice.…

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
